When I try to format a USB flash drive, I get an error message.

Schlaffie:
When I try to format a USB flash drive, I get an error message.
"This drive is in use. Another program or process is using the drive. Do you still want to format it?"
With "yes" it will be formatted.
In Windows Explorer, this message does not appear.
What can I do or is this a bug?

I'm not able to recreate that..
But if you are showing the content of the device and there are lots of files a background process is running to get icons and such. And if you select to format the device before this is done I guess Windows see that it is in used.

Schlaffie:
No, this also happens when the USB flash drive is empty and I want to format it.
Tested with 3 different USB flash drives.

Schlaffie:
I have just tested.
I installed Multi Commander on another laptop Win10 64bit.
Windows Explorer - works without error message
Speedcommander trial version - works without error message
Multi Commander x64 - error message
Multi Commander x86 - error message

Not sure what the problem is,
It is not an error.. It is a warning saying it is in used. but you continue and it gets unmounted  formated.. and then remounted.
